Theatre Ontario is excited to announce a new partnership with the Toronto Fringe Festival. Theatre Ontario is now the online home of the Toronto Fringe Connection, a forum to connect Toronto Fringe producers, performers, and audiences.
What began six years ago in our Toronto office as an initiative to connect producers and performers for the Fringe season has had a technological update. Now fully accessible online, the Fringe Connection will be the central source for audition postings, job notices, discussions, and information sharing.

Theatre Ontario Announces Marketing Training Course
Theatre Ontario is pleased to announce that we will be holding a Weekend Theatre Intensive in May 2010 on the subject of marketing. "Bums In Seats: How to make the most of a limited advertising budget" offers community theatre administrators the opportunity to immerse themselves in a focused training experience.
Times, they are a changing and how do we survive as resources—both human and financial—shrink? Our instructor, Cheryl Ewing, will guide you through a review of what you are currently doing and help you adapt it to the new reality–a world where we are increasingly crunched for time, bombarded with messages and feeling isolated. Taking a look at recent advances in values-based marketing and relationship building, we will consider how we can encourage people to invest in their mental health and attend your theatre.
